This is fairly curt, keen for a quick bedtime story, and basically is the story of a little llama asking his friends if their own mama's are llama's. Each friend comes back with a response which rhymes which is then followed by the piddling llama seeing the calorie-free and rhyming with whatever the friends mama is.
I'm fractional to kids books with rhymes, always have been. Julia doesn't so much care near that herself and can go either style, rhymes or no rhymes.
Julia liked the story, she liked the "baby llama" but she did not like the bat. Obviously the bat's cuteness gene was too depression for this book. She also said the bat was "too enormous". (He is fatigued kind of big I guess.) Other than that she could find no faults. ...more

She begins asking every friend that she sees if their mama is a llama but she finds that all of the friends she asks do not accept llama's every bit mama'southward.

She asks every friend that she knows nearly their mama until she comes to the terminal friend who has a special surprise for her about her mama that she didn't realize. The volume is filled with wonderful lines of rhyming that intrigue the child to proceed reading. At that place are several characteristics of this book that captivates the child other than rhyming. The showtime thing that really caught my eye was the fact that she wrote the volume to have the rhyme on the offset two pages and and then the answer to what that particular animals mama was is on the next page. I found myself wanting to guess what was on the next page using the rhyme instead of but reading the words on the side by side page. Children dearest to guess and I know that this is a grasping attribute of the book for them. The other characteristic that actually would catch children's attention in this book is the fact that it is all nearly animals. Many children dear animals and beloved to talk nigh them and this book gives them the chance to exercise so.

I absolutely loved this book except for the catastrophe. The book is an awesome way to get children used to using rhyming words besides equally assuasive them to utilise their disquisitional thinking skills and estimate what creature is on the side by side page. I myself actually enjoyed reading the rhyming words and almost all the different animals and then I know that the children would probably feel the same mode. Although I actually loved this book I really did not similar the ending. I think that information technology is critical for children to use their thinking skills and to be challenged just for the historic period level that this book is written at I feel that leaving the ending with an ellipsis for the children to create on their own ending is disruptive and entirely too difficult. I recall that I would apply this book for probably second or third grade. Information technology could be integrated into an fauna/science lesson or it could likewise exist used in a linguistic communication arts lesson well-nigh rhyming and or foreshadowing.

The illustrator of this volume was Steven Kellogg. The illustrations are all very sketched looking and announced as if they had been completed using water colors. I really loved the scenery that the illustrator chose to portray of each animal and their habitat. I idea that he did a bully justice depicting where the animals would really exist establish in the wild and how they would look if you found them. I loved the colors that he used in each picture show. Depending on the film he would use a nighttime or absurd palate to depict and absurd and moisture place and a warm palate and colors to depict a warm and dry out place. I call up the colors of the pages make you feel as if you can really understand and feel the atmosphere at the time. The animals expect mostly realistic, even though in that location are some arcadian qualities of them. Over all the illustrations lend to the fun and whimsical quality of this book.

Professional Recommendation/Review #1: Reviewer name Due north/A, Horn Book Guide: (3) PS series. Slap-up, sprightly rhymes tell the story of a picayune llama who asks each animal he sees, 'Is your mama a llama?' The obvious rhyming reply is hidden on the next page, giving every budding story hour aficionado a chance to be triumphantly right. Cheery illustrations of the animals complete an particularly skilful story hour volume. http://world wide web.hornbookguide.com.ezaccess...

Professional person Recommendation/Review #2: Seth Berg, Children's Literature, CLCD: A young llama asks all of his friends virtually their mothers in this entertaining family book. Agreeable characters include a bat, a swan, and a kangaroo. The story allows the audience to conceptualize the punch line of each sequence by requiring the reader to turn the folio to complete the last rhyme of each segment. The illustrations are vibrant, and the narrative follows a dainty pattern where the championship question is repeated five times earlier an affirmative answer is finally found. Children can infer the simple lesson from this volume that all infants belong to the same species as their mothers. http://www.clcd.com.ezaccess.librarie...

Response to Two Professional Reviews: I agree with these reviews that the story's rhyme makes the story fun for children at the potential of guessing the animate being that comes side by side. The bright, detailed illustrations make the book experience sunny and vivid even as the llama searched for his lost mother. The book definitely had a family atmosphere as the llama visits all of his friends and eventually reunites with his mother.

Evaluation of Literary Elements: The rhyming in this book gives information technology a very smooth, almost musical quality to it. Beyond this, it makes it piece of cake for children to guess what the animate being word is on the next folio. The repeated question of "is your mama a llama" as well makes it easy for young children to get involved in reading along with the story. The setting changes along with the fauna the llama talks to, making information technology a bit informational near the habitats in which these animals live. Although information technology wraps upward quite quickly, we still take a satisfying catastrophe as the llama indeed finds her mama.

Consideration of Instructional Awarding: This book would be keen in a classroom, as it would be like shooting fish in a barrel to go students involved in the read aloud, both by reading the line "is your mama a llama" and guessing the animal on the next page based on the clues and the rhyme. The book rhymes throughout, so this would exist a adept volume to discuss the text feature of rhyming. Beyond this, the book shows unlike species of animals and how a infant is the same species every bit its mother. Going off of this, there could exist a mini-lesson comparing and contrasting different types of animals. While all the animals in this book are relatively different, the lesson could expand further and look at, for example, how whales and dolphins have many aspects in mutual, such as living in the sea, but however many differences also.
